So after my first attempt i really wanted another go with these stunning little wasps. It was a waste of time trying to get a descent shot of it in the wild so i caught one yesterday so i could stage it. I mentioned in my previous thread what i did, but just incase it was missed i will explain again.
So instead of putting it in the fridge, i put it in a small clear container and placed an ice pack underneath it and put a small narrow piece of wood in the middle of the box. Narrow enough so the wasp pretty much stayed in focus as it ran up and down the wood. It wasn't so cold it looked frozen but wasn't warm enough to fly. It stayed on the piece of wood because the surface of the container was to cold. This gave me a good opportunity to get some pretty good shots i think. Saying that though i would have liked iso 100. All pics taken with the Yongnuo twin flash and all hand held with the MP-E
